05/30/97: Racist Crap

Posted By: Jana Wright


I realize that it's currently hip to be anti-PC, but it's still stupid. Why isn't the lesson of the movie "Stay away from rich white guys?" After all, a rich white guy hit a woman with his car and thereby earned the trouble he got into. Or maybe the lesson could be "Don't have oral sex while driving." Nope, gotta be as gratuitously offensive as possible to get the attention, right? It's like someone decided that the "Gypsies", properly called Roma, were the best ethnic group to pick on because they don't have any anti-defamation leagues that 'mainstream America' knows of. Well, lots of us think its wrong to abuse racist stereotypes, even if a lackwit author did it first. It shouldn't take the threat of public shame and economic pressure for folks to get a clue...
